IRS. CHICK DROPS
ALIENATION SUIT
When Granted Divorce She
Withdraws Action Against
Mrs. Thompson.
DECREE GOES BY DEFAULT
Attorney for Lumberman's Wife Ex
onerates Other Woman From Ac
cusation of Appropriating
Timber Magnate's Affection.
Withdrawing her suit against Mrs. Dora
E. Thompson for $25,000 for the aliena
tion of her husband's affections, Mrs.
Dora Chick yesterday secured a default
decree of dlijorce from Charles H. Chick
and a settlement of property estimated
to be valued at $125,000. Mrs. Thompson
was completely exonerated by a state
ment made by John F. Logan, attorney
for Mrs. Chick. Mrs. Chick's allegations
against her husband were also greatly
modified and the divorce granted upon
a simple allegation of unkind treatment.
About a month ago Charles H. Chick,
who is a wealthy lumberman of Michigan,
having large interests in Oregon, was'
sued by his wife for divorce on the
grounds of infidelity. At the same time,
suit for damages was brought by Mrs.
Chick against Mrs. Thompson, wife of a
timber cruiser employed by Chick, alleg
ing that she had gained the affections
of the lumberman.
Charges Are Withdrawn.
Recently friends- of the parties to the
suits effected negotiations as a result of
which the more scandalous charges are
withdrawn and the property rights set
tled out of court. Mrs. Chick appeared
before Judge Bronaugh yesterday morn
ing, told a colorless story of abusive
languag directed to her by the defend
ant, and 'was granted a decree by default.
Attorney Logan says that a settlement
of property was made by which Mrs.
Chick secures $100,000 in securities and a
residence. She is awarded the custody
of Glen Chick, aged 18, the only minor
child.
Immediately after the divorce proceed
ings. Attorney Logan appeared before
Judge Morrow and moved to dismiss the
suit against Mrs. Thompson, stating that
there was no evidence to show improper
conduct between her and Chick.
A technical flaw in the complaint
brought to a sudden end the divorce suit
Of W. G. Colllnge against Anna Colllnge,
after the plaintiff had finished telling
upon the witness stand the harrowing
experience he had had with his wife. It
was found that the original complaint had
not been signed, and in order that there
might be no doubt of the' validity of the
divorce. lf granted. Judge Bronaugh' al
lowed thue in which to correct the error.
Husband Kept Awake.
Mrs. Colllnge appears to have had the
late Mrs. Caudle beaten to a finish in the
art of keeping a mere man awake at
night to tell him of his shortcomings.
Colllnge said that although he worked. 12
hours every day, he was kept awake un
til 3 o'clock almost every morning to
listen to curtain lectures, and that Mrs.
Collinge was always fresh for these en
counters because she slept during the
day. He said that he believed her motive
for these lectures was to drive him Into
insanity.
Last June, he said, they had a quarrel
because he went for an automobile ride
with his brother, and Mrs. " Collinge se
cured a bottle of laudanum and drank
from it. He saved . her life, by working
with her all night, giving her hot coffee
to drink . and walking her around the
block. '
Last June, he. Bald, -she went to Wash
ington and remained some time. When
she returned, he said, she took quarters
over Denny's saloon on Third Street and
consorted with women there. Although
lie gave her eight dresses a year, she
took advantage of this visit to run up a
hill of $94.60 against him, knowing that
he was unable to pay It. Collinge says
his wife .was not affectionate and urged
him to seek other women, as his atten
tions were distasteful to her.
Tl witness was turned over to Deputy
District Attorney Vreeland, who asked:
"When she attempted to take that lauda
num, don't you think it would have been
a good idea to let her do it?"
Flaw Is Discovered.
At this point the flaw in the complaint
was discovered and a postponement was
taken.
Abandoned in a cabin in the dense tim
ber, with three little children, and sub
jected to Indignities from other men, Lil
lian A. Oberer moved in inclement March
weather to an open tent, and from there,
leaving her little children in charge of
friends, went to seek her husband, Fred
J. Oberer. She entered suit for divorce
against him at Salem, but through the
intervention of friends, the parish priest
and lodge brethren of her husband's, was
persuaded to drop the suit upon his prom
ise to quit drinking and conduct himself
in a proper manner. He failed to do so,
however and new suit was brought to
issue yesterday and a divorce granted by
default, with $40 a month alimony. The
' parties were married at Corvallis in 1S37
and have three children. Oberer is a
sawmill man. living in Washington.
Mrs. Chambers Granted Divorce.
After living as man and wife for a.
quarter of a century, Eda B. and James
Chambers, living on Lewis and Clark
River near Astoria, fell out, the imme
diate cause being that Mrs. Chambers al
lowed her daughter's fiance to remain at
the house over night. She says her hus
band, who is subject to fits of anger,
seized and choked her, using harsh lan
guage to her. Property rights were ad
justed out of court, and the one child
too young to choose a guardian, is to re
main half of the time with each parent.
The divorce was granted by Judge Bro
naugh.
Cruelty is charged by Lydia Munson in
a suit for divorce filed yesterday against
Henry N. Munson. The marriage took
place t ancouver. Wash., in 1894.
Married 35 years ago in Norway, John
A. Gustavson is seeking a divorce from
Clarlna Gustavson. Suit was filed in
Circuit Court yesterday, in which he al
leges cruel and inhuman treatment.
kiot case pleas to be heaiid
St. Johns Defendants Will AppeaT in
Court Today.
Upholding the regularity of the in
dictments brought against the so
called St. Johns rioters. Judge Morrow
yesterday afternoon overruled de
tnurrers to them and ordered the de
fendants into court to plead at 2 o'clock
this afternoon.
The accused men insisted that the
indictments against them were defec
tive in that they alleged a large num
ber of crimes, including burglary, as
sault and battery and robbery, con
trrv to the constitutional orovlslon
one offense. The demurrers wera
argued by Attorneys Clark andLoner
gan of the defense and Dan Malarkey
and Deputy District Attorney Fitz
gerald for the prosecution.
The principal argument was made
by Malarkey, who insisted that the
numerous offenses alleged were neces
sary elements of - the degree of riot
which the state is seeking to prove,
there being- graduated -penalties for
the crime, according to the degree of
violence with wltich it is accompanied.
Judge Morrow sustained this view
and ordered the defendants to be ready
to plead. Trials before a Jury will be
taken up at the earliest possible mo
ment. Attorney Clark, whoappears
for the three accused policemen, stated J
that his clients wouia oerama sep
arate trials, one of them relying upon
the defense that he had not been com
missioned at the time of the riot.
FLANDERS' SCIT ENDS TODAY
Condemnation Case Verdict Expect
ed Before Day Is Spent.
- At the conclusion of impassioned ar
guments by counsel. Judge Gantenbein
yesterday adjourned the further pro
ceedings in the condemnation suit of
the city against Maria Flanders and
others until this morning, when the
Jury will be instructed and will re
tire to consider its verdict.
The case, which involves a right of
way -for the projected Broadway
bridge, has occupied five full days in
Judge Gantenbein's department of the
Circuit Court, and has been charac
terized by a stubborn legal battle be
tween City Attorney Kavanaugh and
Attorneys Citron and McGinn for the
defense. Much of the time consumed
was occupied in getting a Jury, it be
ing stipulated that all veniremen re
siding in the district to be benefited
by the bridge should be excused for
cause. The principal reliance of the
city is in the testimony of six wit
nesses fixing the value of the property
at an average of about $500, and upon
the fact that shortly before the pro
ceedings Mrs. Flanders executed an
option to Albers Bros, to sell the prop
erty at about that figure.
Witnesses for the defense, seven in
number, testified unanimously that the
property was worth $1000 a front foot
and that the 27 feet left cut off by
the bridge would be almost worthless.
A verdict probably will be reached, this
morning.
DEBT PROBLEM BEFORE JURY
Obligation ' Assumed in Gambling
Game Is Cause of Suy.
When a player gets gambling checks
from the banker of a game on credit
and loses them to other players in a
friendly game of poker, ia his obligation
to the banker a gambling debt or a
legitimate debt of which the courts can
take cognizance?
A jury in Judge Gatens' department of
the Circuit Court wrestled with this
problem last night and will announce its
findings this morning.
B. F. Shaw sues W. N. Matlock for $1000
on a note assigned to him by Edwin
Swltzler and executed by -Matlock. Mat
lock alleges that the note represents a
gambling debt and refuses to pay it. He
avers that from time to time he- secured
poker checks from Swltzler, at Pendle
ton, to engage in a game conducted by
Swltzler, until his obligation amounted
to $1000 and he gave a note for the
amount. Switzler transferred the note to
Shaw, who is now seeking to collect.

Mrs. Anna: Dean Not Allowed Sum
She Asked in Suit. -Mrs.
Anna Dean was allowed dam
ages of $750 in her suit for $50,000
against the Portland Railway, Light
& Power Company, the jury returning
yesterday afternoon after but a few
hours' deliberation. Mrs. Dean said
that she had been made a pi ysical and
ervous wreck through Injuries sus
tained in a collision at Hawthorne and
Grand avenues, between two cars of
the defendant company.
While admitting the accident, it was
the contention of the defendant com
pany that Mrs. Dean was a sufferer
from disorders prior to the accident.

STREET COMMITTEE FAVORS
FRANCHISE REVOCATION.
Present Grant to "United Railways
Company Amended to Include
Four City Streets.
With, but one dissenting vote, the
street committee of the City Council yes
terday recommended the) Dunning ordi
nance calling for the revocation of the
Seventh-street franchise of the United
Railways Company, but it was amended
to include the right- of the company
on Hall, Sixth, Sheridan and on Taylor,
from Front to Sixth streets. This was
done upon motion of Councilman Wallace.
It was significant that no one was
present to represent the United Railways
Company. It is understood that the in
terests behind the . concern will seek a
new franchise for its proposed system
when it can prepare plans for one, and
that this will be introduced in the Coun
cil at some future date.
When the street committee took up
consideration of the Seventh-street
franchise, Councilman Wallace at once
moved to amend the Dunning ordinance
to include all of the unused portion of the
company's franchise, on Seventh, Sixth.
Sheridan and Hall and its rights on Tay
lor, from Front to Seventh streets.
This was promptly seconded: was put
to a vote by Chairman Lombard and
carried. The vote on the ordinance, as
amended, carried, but Councilman Beld
ing voted against it. He seemed to think
some provisions should be made for
hauling people further north on the com
pany's lines than the Jefferson-street
depot, which, he said, is the present ter
minus. C. A. Dolph spoke briefly, favoring
revocation of the franchises, and saying
that, if the United Railways Company
needs connection from South to North
Portland It should be forced to take
the fourth-street line for its tracks.
Councilman Baker also spoke in favor of
the ordinance, but said he felt certain
the Council would grant the company
any other necessary franchises.
Good Things in
Portland Markets
BY LILIAN TINGLE.
A LIMITED quantity of Oregon straw
berries, really deserving the adjec
tive "magnificent,' were on the market
yesterday, at 20 cents' a box; others, less
choice, but still excellent, sold at 1214 to
15 cents. For the. present, strawberries
are not declining in price, since the
California berries are practically gone,
and the local berries are not quite ripe.
Gooseberries rank next in interest to
strawberries. Green and hard though
they look, they furnish many delicious
desserts and refreshing sherbets.
Cherries are not to be seen in any large
quantities, and cost about 25 cents a
pound. Rhubarb Is cheap and plentiful.
Oranges and apples are the same In
price and quality 89 they were last week.
New this week are loquats, at 15 cents a
pound.
Asparagus Is following celery and cauli
flower into the region of "limited sup
piles," and costs IZh cents a pound. Peas
are becoming more plentiful, and con
sequently cheaper, costing 6,i to 8 cents
a pound. Spinach is about the same
price.
Long "English" cucumbers -are avail
able at 20 to 40 cents just the thing to go
with Chinook salmon. Tomatoes and
beans are both getting cheaper, costing 15
and 12 cents respectively.
New potatoes can .be had at six pounds
for a quarter. Try them "a 1'anglalse"
boiled with a sprig of mint and treated,
like the March hare's watch, with a
generous lump of the best butter.
Oregon head lettuce is becoming daily
larger and crisper. Radishes are excel
lent just now. The large ones are good
boiled, if you are seeking a new vege
table. Poultry prices are no lower, alas! "The
gentle little Spring chicken is sweet and
adorable above all its kindred poultry,"
says Elizabeth Pennell. "It is innocent
and guileless as Bellini's angels, and
dream-like and strange as Botticelli's.
But "why Is there always a but? The
"but" In the present instance, for some
of us, is that Spring chickens cost 60
to 75 cents each, "and go nowhere at all,"
as I heard one distressed housekeeper
put it. Nice big fat hens, however, can
be had at 25-cents a pound; but you must
not expect Bellini and Botticelli angelic
qualities at that price. Spring ducks are
to be had at $1.25 to $1.50 each.
Shad Is the most fascinating as well
as the most inexpensive feature of the
fish market. Beautiful fresh irrldescent
shad can be purchased for 15 or 20 cents
each. Shad roe costs 20 to 30 cents a
pound.
Chinook salmon has been comparatively
rather higher in price, costing 20 cents a
pound. Halibut is still cheap and good
at 10 cents. Sturgeon, very choice and
delicate, at 20 cents is new this week.
Sea trout are delicious at 20 to 25
cents a pound.
Crabs are low priced and plentiful,
costing 12 to 15 cents each. Other avail
able nshare rock-cod and sole.i 12V4
cents; herring, perch and flounder, 10
cents, and smelt 5 cents a pound.
Inheritance Revenue Grows.
SALEM, Or., May 20. (Special) The
State Treasurer today received from the
estate of Isam White, of Multnomah
County, $5102.21 as Inheritance tax. The
inheritance tax law, which has been in
force since 1903, has brought into the
state treasury since January 1. 1910, $2.
230.33. The revenue from this source in
1909 was $44,194.25. There has been a
steady increase year by year since the
law was enacted. -
